Or better yet adjust to the realities of May, 1996.  HTTP is a majority of the 
internets traffic.  Go complain to the webmasters of sites that have too many
gifs in their home page.  Go support the CDA, and get alt.sex.* traffic off
the net.

There's no sense complaining about commercial postings, given todays different
internet backbone transports and traffic dynamics.  Forget about usenet postings.

Lighten up!  :)
